Amy Schneider is the current Jeopardy! champion and she may have a good luck charm to help her out. Have you ever noticed that Amy has worn a pearl necklace on each episode? She opened up about the touching reason she always wears pearls after becoming the first woman to pass the $1 million winning mark.

She said that the necklace was actually a gift from her girlfriend Genevieve. Genevieve gave it to her on her birthday and said that “every lady should have a string of pearls.” Amy wore the necklace during the first taping of the show and said it was a comfort during the nerve-wracking days of filming.
